Great company at a reasonable price. Great quality operations and growth prospects (specialty u/w, programs services, 3rd party capital, long track record of investment success). Estimate that it can generate 10% income to mkt cap plus strong growth.… More

Price multiple is too high compared to industry.

Great company at a reasonable price. Great quality operations and growth prospects (specialty u/w, programs services, 3rd party capital, long track record of investment success). Estimate that it can generate 10% income to mkt cap plus strong growth.

Think a reasonable and conservative estimate of run-rate profits is
375m uw profit (7.5b @ 95% CR)
150m prg services (.5% of 3B GWP)
600m fixed income (3% * 20B)
700m equity (10%*7B)
200m markel ventures (10% * 2B equity)
-400m tax (~20%)
~1.7B profit, nearly 10% return at 18B mkt cap.

Listening to the CEO of this “Baby Berkshire” feels a lot like listening to Warren Buffet.

Baby Berkshire will just keep chugging along. Relatively cheap compared to its historical price to book ratio. If the equity markets tumble Markel will get beaten down harder than Berkshire but it offers the potential of a mid-cap with a proven model that can turn it into a mega-cap.
